Eventually, maybe. It depends on East Side Access being finished first, so you're looking at 2025 at the earliest.

That's not too far off in the grand scheme of things. Both nice ideas. 62nd is right around Riverside Blvd where all that newer Trump development is. They're still working on finishing that area up last I was over there. 125th same deal. That would be cool if they made those New York Central tracks relevant again. A lot of people don't even know they exist.

I am in Seventh Heaven with only the Phase 1 extension of the Second Avenue line. Dare I ask for more?

My usual lines do not really have anything. We have that thing that beeps to let you know a train is barreling down toward the station when you're by the turnstiles.

My main station does not have WiFi. No cell reception either. Supposedly soon.

Trump says he'll have the feds cough up 14 billion to do phases 2-4 and build the full length Second Avenue Subway.

So yes, dare ask for more!

All lettered lines will have countdown clocks by the spring of 2018.

The 7 train's upgrade to CBTC will be done this year, and all those stations will get countdown clocks.

The letter lines will be upgraded to CBTC by 2021, like the L train already is. They are already working on upgrading the other letter lines.

If I can take the Second Ave train from my doorstep up to ALDI'S (117th St.) I'll be in Third Heaven.

The WIFI on buses thing is stupid and I hate the new scheme. They should just improve the maintenance of some of these bus depots. I mean, those new XD40 Xcelisor buses (mostly in Brooklyn) are fancy enough. NICE bus in Nassau county is following this trend with WIFI and usb ports on their new XN60 CNG Artics( which the MTA is also getting later this year).
